Hi everyone! Just checking in
Posted , 5 users are following.
A year ago today, I was admitted to hospital. I remember posting on here sometime before, telling everyone of my fears (I was absolutely petrified!). I had no idea if I would be better or worse, after the operation to replace my left hip. Afterwards there was a little blip when I had a Pulmonary Embolism - but that all seems so long ago.
Anyway - update. I LOVE MY NEW HIP. I love my bionic leg (as we call it) and the fact I can walk, go shopping, even run again! I have very very very little pain (the odd brused feeling) and the other hip now gets tired long before this one.
To anyone who is scared, thinking of pulling out, or has any concerns at all I really hope that my little note will help put your mind at ease. My husband said to me before the operation to ask him in 6 months and then a year if it had all be worth it...... my response?
HELL YES!!!!

All my progress seemed to be in the first 5 weeks and now I can't see any progress. Just waiting for the next stage!

I will be taking my stick, not confident to go without and don't want to fall over! I am convinced that recovery is in such tiny steps that we don't actually notice it happening but then you realise you've done something you haven't done before. And of course the horrible pain has gone away......x

I am 13 weeks post op now and hip doing well my prob is that because I didn't do very much for 2 months everywhere else aches now . I am able to do more work around house and garden and have had my 13 month old Grand Daughter for a couple of hours at a time but last night every muscle and joint seemed to be hurting it was as bad as my hip !
I suppose it will improve ?
